If you recite lines or over-rehearse, your video could come across as scripted and feel inauthentic.
When you record your video, let your personality shine through. Spend a few minutes deciding what you want to talk about, then grab your camera or mobile device and mount it on a tripod to so that you have a stable recording.Īnother option for recording is to use a screen recorder like Snagit to record your webcam. Mobile devices have pretty nice cameras on them, so if you have one of those, you can make a video.
You don’t need an expensive camera to record a personalized video. There are three parts to making a video signature: making a personalized video, creating a video thumbnail for your email signature, and then adding it to a signature option in your email application. It’s basically a video placed in the body of your email message alongside your signature that communicates more about you, your role, or what you have to offer. Peyton Towler, one of our sales associates, incorporates personalized video into his email signatures as a pattern breaker–a way to make his recipient pause and interact with his message instead of sending it straight to the trash bin.
If you’re on a customer-facing team like sales or customer success, a video email signature can help you connect with your customers on a more human level.
